A HUNDREDYEARs A HEROI
How Seth Warner Won wife aud Become Famous.


Colonel Seth Warner. of Vermont, the famous
hero of the Revolutionary war, was a leading
fighter for the Hampshire grants.
These titles were disputed by the State of
New York, and its authorities obtained AN
edict oft the King of England in their favor. The
settlers were stung by the supposed Injustice.
This state of things brought Colonel Seth
Warner 10 the front With Ethan Allen aud
others he actively opposed every effort OF the
New York State authorities 10 enforce posses
sion, and finally he with Allen and others, were
outlawed and a price put on their heads!
To circumvent New York, IL WAS necessary
that some one should go into that State and
gain required information. Colonel Warner.
assuming for safety the name of" Dr. Howard"
undertook this perlous and romantic journey.
While on his way home he stopped at coun-
try inn, where an old gentleman and daughter
were storm bound. The father fell i'll and the
daughter called upon Colonel Warner, who,
with his wide knowledge Of simple remedies,
successfully treated the old man." and he
finally won this devoted woman for a wife.
Such incidents were not uncommon IN those
years. When the doctor was not easily reach
ed, months of sickness, and even life were often
saved by some unprOiossi0nal friend versed in
the use Of simple herbs and roots. The health
of early settlers and their powers of endurance
convince us that such medicines did only good
aud left no poison in the blood 10 work rs much
injury to the system as would the disease itself
In time of peace the Colonel was in constant
demand for his knowledge of simple remedies
and their power over disease. But it was left
TO another If his name of the present age TO
give 10 the public what was then used with
such positive success.

with Ethan Allen the admiration Of the Amer

wide distinction no less than eight members

known proprietor of Warmers safe cure, for
many years has been experimenting with old

things because they were purely vegetable and
combined simply so as 10 cure the disease indi-

with their old time character, we learn that he
proposes TO call them Warmers Log Cabin
| Remedies, using as a trademark an old-fash-

that he intends TO put forth a "Sarsaparilla +"
for the blood, the sarsaparilla itself being but
